The Songs In My Mind.

Goldfinch60



As we wander around town,

Or through the garden centre,

I find that a song comes to my mind

And much to the horror of my missus

I start singing or humming it.

These songs are dredged up

From I know not where.

Yes I know them, but why this song?

Why now?

So many songs that I know,

But the ones that I sing

Come from so deep,

And I have no idea

What sparked that particular tune

That I am now trying to sing;

To my missus now seen in the distance.

    It is a good question Andy. I am sure that the answer varies from time to time and may be complex or simple. I find that this happens to me but mostly when I have been listening to something that reminds me of something else. I too sing but when alone. A most interesting write Andy

      Thank you soren, we have Boom Radio on on in the car which gives songs from the 50's and 60's and we both sing along to them.

        I just think of them as ear worms and it takes forever to get that song to go away, or just an internal thought lol. Great poem :))
